INTRODUCTORY. 

As it is " MoKMONiSM " alone which gives to Salt 
Lake City its unique pre-eminence amongst the cities 
of Western America, and that attracts the visits of the 
tourist and traveler, we shall, in this hrief but comj^re- 
hensive Guide, give chief place to the edifices, etc., 
erected by tliis people, and the surrounding objects of 
interest associated with their eventful history. 

The mercantile and maiuifacturing interests of 
the Citv will also be detailed, tluis making this little 
work a hand-book of reference for capitalists and busi- 
ness men, and all others interested in the commercial 
growth and development of the City of Salt Lake. 



GIIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY, 



FIRST SETTLEMENT OF SALT LAKE CITY. 

In tjie spring of 1.S47, Ih'ighani Yoiing/^^ Presi- 
dent of the "'.Mormon" Clmreli, started from the Mis- 
souri Uiver in seareh of a })]ace of settlement for liis 
co-reHgionists who had l)een (h-iven from Nalvoo, 
Ilhnois. He was accomi)anie(l by one huiKh'ed and 
forty-two pioneers. Tlie company arrived in the valley 
of Great Salt Lake on the 24th of July, having sought 
out and made a new road ()5() miles, and followed a 
trappers' trail nearly 400 miles. 

On the 29tli of July the pioneers received addi- 
tional strength by tlie arrival of Captain James Brown 
with a detachment of the"Ak)rmon" Battalion, and a 
company of Saints from Mississippi, who wintered with 
the detachment on the Arkansas River. 

The population being now about four hundred, the 
building of Salt Lake City was commenced by the 
erection of a fort, enclosing ten acres. 

The arrival of tlie Pioneers and this detachment 
of the battalion, all armed and carrying the flag of the 
United States, the commencement to build a fort and the 
hoisting of the stars and stripes (although this country 
at the time belonged to Mexico,) had a tendency to im- 
press the wild tribes of the mountains with respect, and 
made it comparatively easy to promote friendly rela- 
tions with them. 

The Twelve Apostles organized Salt Lake City 
into a Stake of Zion, and appointed John Smith, Presi- 

* Brigham Young was born June 1, 1801, at AVhittingham, 
Windsor County, Vermont; was baptized into the Cliurch of 
Jesus Christ of Latter-day »Saints in 1H82, ordained an Apostle 
in 1835, and died in Salt Lake City, August 29, 1877.

Tlie w hole basin was so barren as to produce little 
besides a s])ecies of bunch grass, and the ground was 
covered with myriads of large, black crickets, whicli 
were the food of the Indians. In this desei-t i)lace the 
site of Sat/p Lake City w^as surveyed. 

The Great Salt Lake, after which the city is 
named, is about eighty miles long and forty wide, has 
seven Islands, three of which are mountainous and are 
used for grazing. Its nearest accessible point is some 
fifteen miles from Salt Lake City. 

The river Jordan, the outlet of Utah Lake, pursues 
a very meandering, detail course, but has a very' direct 
general northerly co\n*se of some forty miles, and 
empties into the Salt Lake, about ten miles from the 
city. 

Utah Lake is a beautiful sheet of fresh water, with 
an extreme length and breadth of thirty-five by fifteen 
miles. It receives Provo and Spanish Fork rivers, and 
several other tributaries, and abounds in mountain 
trout and other delicious fish. 

The Twin Peaks, in the Wasatch mountains, are 
about fifteen miles, air line, south-easterl}^ from Salt

SALT LAKE CITY. 

Salt Lake City, the ea})ital of Utah, occupies an 
imi)ortant central position in the Territory, and is the 
metropolis of the inter-mountain regioiL Its latitude 
is 40° 46', longitude 112° 0<V West: and the varia- 
tion of the magnetic needle at the base meridian, 
as determined in Octol)er, 1878. by the L^nlted States 
Coast Survey, is 10° 32' East. 

The city has an altitude of 4,261 feet above sea 
level, an area of 5,730 acres, and a population of about 
25,000 inhabitants. It is laid out, principally, in blocks 
of ten acres eacli, the streets running\due to the cardi- 
nal points. Each street is 132 feet wide including the 
sidewalks, which are twenty feet in width. The ma- 
jority of the streets are bordered with shade trees and 
running brooks, and the building lots are usually large 
enough to afford ample room for buildings, gardens, 
orchards and ornamental grounds. The foliage largely 
conceals the houses in summer, giving to the city the 
appearance of one immense and lovely garden. 

The climate is salubrious. The mean summer 
temperature is about 74, but on account of the dry and 
rare atmosphere it^is not more oppressive than a mean 
several degrees lower would be on the sea level. Al- 
though the mercury often reads above 90 in July and 
August, sunstroke is almost unknown, severe thunder 
and lightning are infrequent, the nights are uniformly

THE SACRED SQUARE. 

Tni-: TivMPLK Block is the Sacred Sqnare of the 
Latter-day Saints and the central ohject of interest 
to tourists visiting the city. It covers an area of ten 
acres, is surrounded hy a high adohe wall, and contains 
the Temple, now in course of erection, the Tabernacle, 
Assembly Hall the Endowment House, and the archi- 
tects' offices, workshops, etc., of the men engaged on the 
''Church Works," generally designated the "public 
hands." 

"MORMON" TEMPLES. 

Not less than eight Temples have been designated, 
and their sites consecrated, of which number three 
have been dedicated and ordinances administered 
therein — one at Kirtland, (3hio ; Nauvoo, Illinois; St. 
George, Utah. Those at Salt Lake City, at Manti, and 
at Logan, all in Utah, are i)rogressing satisfactorily, the 
last named being nearly completed. 

The site for a temple at Independence, Missouri, 
was dedicated August 3rd, 1831. Those present were 
Joseph Smith, the Prophet, Sidney Rigdon, Edward 
Partridge, William W. Phelps, Oliver Cowdery, Martin 
Harris and Joseph Coe, and another person, name not 
given. 

The Temple at Kirtland was 55x05 feet; the cor- 
ner stones were laid Julv 23rd, 1833. This was built

The corner stone for a Teni]>le at Far West, Mis- 
souri, was laidJidy 4th, 18)^8, with apy)i-o|)riate cere- 
mony. ])iniensio]is of huildino- to Ije IK) feet lon^ 
and SO feet wide. 

The Temple at Xauvoo, Illinois, was about 128 
feet long by 88 feet wide. The corner stones were laid 
in the presence of the Xauvoo Legion, by the various 
autliorities of the Church, on the 0th day of April, 
bS41. 'I'he building was erected by the tithing and 
free-will offerings of tlie peoj)le, and was so rapidly ad- 
vanced that on the 8th of November the same year the 
Baj)tismal Font was dedicated, and baptisms for the 
<lead were administered. The building was finally 
<ledicated with |)u}>lic services on Saturday and Sun- 
day, the 2nd and )ird of May, 184B. 

The Temple at St. George, the site of whicli was 
dedicated by prayer by President George A. Smith, and 
ground broken November 9th 1871, is 141 feet 8 inches 
long by 93 feet 4 inches wide ; is 84 feet from ground 
to to[) of parapet. TYie basement is of volcanic rock, 
the upper part of red sandstone, and contains about 
1900 cords of rock, 1,000,000 feet of lumber, and co.st 
about 8800,000. Upon its completion, a general Ton- 
ference of all the authorities of the church was held 
within its walls on the 0th of April, 1877, and the 
dedicatory prayer was offered bv Counsellor Daniel H. 
Wells. 

The Manti Temple site was dedicated and the 
ground broken by President Brigham Young on April 
2oth, 1877. The corner stones w^ere laid April 14th. 
1 879. Its size is 172 x 9o feet, and 82 feet to the srjuare. 



10 GUIDK TO SALT LAKH CITY, 

Its eastern tower is to be 170 feet higli. the western 
tower 169 feet liii;h. This edifice stands on a hill, 
which had to be partly removed and required 2,400 
cords of rock terrace to provide for its location. 

The site of the Lotian Temple is situated on an 
elevation or table land in the eastern part of the city 
bearing that name. It was dedicated with prayer 
offered by Apostle Orson Pratt, May ISth, 1877, and 
the ground was broken the same day. The corner 
stones were laid September 17th, 1877. The building, 
including towers and buttresses, is 171 feet long by 95 
in width, with a tower 30 feet square at each end, the 
eastern tower to be 155 feet, and the western tow^er 143 
feet in height, and 86 feet from the surface to top of 
ijattlements. 

THE SALT LAKE CITY TEMPLE.* 

The Temple Block is 40 rods square, the lines run- 
ning north and south, east and west, and contains ten 
acres. The centre of the Temple is 156 feet 6 inches 
due west from the centre of the east line of the 1)1 ock. 
The length of the Temple east and west, is 186 feet six 
inches including towers, by 99 feet in width. On the 
east end there are three towers, as also on the west. 

The north and south walls are 8 feet thick, clear of 
pedestal ; they stand upon a footing of 16 feet wall, on 
its bearing, which slopes 3 feet on each side to the height 
of 7 feet six inches. The footing of the towers rises to 
the same height as the side, and is one solid piece of 
masonr}^ ot rough ashlars, laid in good lime mortar. 

The basement of the main building is divided into 
many rooms by walls, all having footings. The line of

walk, from 11 to 22 feet wide, around the entire ])uil(l- 
ing, and approached by stone steps on all sides. 

*There are four towers on the four corners of the 
building, eacli starting from their footing, of 2H feet 
square; these continue 16 feet six inches high, and 



12 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY, 



come to the line of the base string course, which is 8 
feet above the promenade walk. At this point the 
towers are reduced to 25 feet square; they then con- 
tinue to the height of 38 feet, or the height of the sec- 
ond string course. At tliis point they are reduced to 
23 feet square ; they then continue 38 feet high, to the 
third string course. The string courses continue all 
around the building, except when separated by but- 
tresses. These string courses are massive mouldings 
from solid blocks of stone. 

The two east towers then rise 25 feet to a string- 
course, or cornice. The two west tow^ers rise 19 feet 
and come to their string course or cornice. The four 
towers then rise 9 feet to the top of battlements. These 
towers are cylindrical, having 17 feet diameter inside, 
within which stairs ascend around a solid column four 
feet in diameter, allowing landings at the various sec- 
tions of the building. These towers have each five or- 
namental window^s on two sides, above the basement. 
The tw^o centre tow^ers occupy the centre of the east and 
the west ends of the building, starting from their foot- 
ings 31 feet square, and break off in sections in line 
with corner towers to the height of the third string 
course. The east centre tower then rises 40 feet to the 
top of battlements ; the west centre tower rises 34 feet 
to the top of battlements. All the towers have orna - 
mental spires surmounting them. 

The centre room of the basement is arranged for a 
baptismal font, and is 57 feet long by 35 feet wide, sep- 
arated from the main w^all by four rooms, two on each 
side, 19 feet long by 12 wide. On the east and Vest 
sides of these rooms are four passages 12 feet wdde; 
these lead to and from by outside doors, two on the

tVom these i)assai2;es are four more rooms; two at each 
I'nd, 28 feet wide by oS feet inclies lono-. Tliese an<l 
tlieir walls oeenpy the basement. 

We are now nj) to the line of the base string 
course, 8 feet above the promenade or steps rising to the 
Temple, which terminates the coi)e of the pedestal, and 
to the first floor of the house. This room is joined to 
the outer cou;'ts, these courts being the width between 
towers, 16 feet by 9 in the clear. We ascend to the 
floors of these courts (they being on a line with the 
first floor of main house) by four flights of stone steps 
i) feet 6 inches wide, arranged in the basement work : 
the first step ranging to the outer line of towers. From 
these courts doors admit to any part of the I)uilding. 

The size of the first large room is 120 feet long l)y 
80 feet wide ; the height reaches nearly to the second 
string course. The room is arched over in the centre 
with an elliptical arch which drops at its flank 10 feet 
and has 38 feet span. The side ceilings have J ellip- 
tical arches which start from the side walls of the main 
building, 16 feet high, and terminate at the capitals of 
the columns or foot of centre arch, at the height of 24 
feet. The columns obtain their bearings direct from 
the footings of said house ; these columns extend up to 
support the floor above. 

The outside walls of this story are 7 feet thick. 
The space from the termination of the foot of the cen- 
tre arch to the outer wall, is divided into sixteen com- 
partments, eight on each side, making rooms 14 feet by 
14, clear of partitions, and 10 feet high, leaving a 
passage 6 feet wide next to each flank of centre arch, 
which is approached from the ends. These rooms are 



14 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY, 



each liglited l)y an elliptical or oval window wlio^^e 
major axis is vertical. 

The large room on the second floor is one foot 
wider than the room below ; this is in consequence of 
the wall being but 6 feet thick, falling off six inches 
on the inner and six on the outer side. The second 
string course provides for this on the outside. The 
rooms of this story are similar to tliose below. The 
side walls have nine buttresses on a side, and have 
eight tier of windows, five on each tier. 

The Temple site was consecrated and the ground 
broken for the foundation February 14th, 18o3. The 
corner stones were laid with imposing ceremonies on 
the 6th day of April, 1853. It is constructed of 
speckled granite rock, brought from the mouth of Little 
Cottonwood Canon, some tw^enty miles to the south- 
east of the city. It is expected that the walls will be 
up to the scjuare by the autumn of 1883. 

THE LARGE TABERNACLE. 

It is well known that the site of Salt Lake City 
was selected, the plotting of it designed, and the prin- 
pal public buildings in it, at least until quite recently, 
planned by President Brigham Young. The buildings 
he designed are remarkable for their substantial and 
convenient character. This peculiarity is very well 
illustrated in the construction of the " New Tabernacle," 
as it has been called to distinguish it from the " Old 
Tabernacle," which formerly stood near it. This build- 
ing is situated in the west centre of the Temple Block, 
and was commenced on the 2(3th of July, 1864, and was 
completed and dedicated October 6th, 1867. It was

Avith the exception of that of the Central i)ei)ot. New 
York, and i)robably the largest in the world which is 
constructed wholly of wood. The l)ents of the roof are 
composed of a lattice truss, and rest upon forty-four 
sandstone piers, each three feet by nine in size, and 
from fourteen to twenty feet in height. The gallery, 
which extends around the building, excej)t at the west 
end, is 480 feet lono^ bv 30 feet in width. The entire

buildinii' lias a seating ca[ acity of al.)oiit 1(),()0(). There 
is no doubt but more than this number of persons have 
been in the building at one time, on occasions of gen- 
eral Conferences, Sunday School jubilees, and the like, 
wlien it lias been crowded to its utmost capacity. 

It has twenty doors, most of which are nine feet 
wide, and all open outwards, so that an audience of 
nine or ten thousand could gain egress, in case of an 
accident, in a very few minutes. It this respect the 
building is certainly without. a rival in the world. 

In the west end of the Tabernacle is situated the 
large organ, second to none in the United States, in ap- 
pearance and sweetness of tone, and is exceeded in size 
by but one. It was constructed entirely by Utah me- 
chanics, under the direction of Joseph Ridges, Esq. A 
small amount of the material used in its construction 
was imported, but the principal part of it was produced 
at home. To hear the melody of the organ richly re- 
pays a visit to the Tabernacle. The front towers of the 
organ have an altitude of fifty-eight feet, and contain 
the thirty-two feet gilded, pipes ; the side towers are 
nearly the same height as the front. The dimerisions 
of the organ are 30 x 33 feet, and it requires four 
blowers. 

THE SALT LAKE ASSEMBLY HALL. 

The Salt Lake Assembly Hall, situated in the 
south-west corner of the Temple Block, is perhaps one 
of the finest buildings used for public worship to be 
found in any of the western Territories. The late 
Obed Taylor, Esq., was the architect, and Henry Grow, 
Esq., its builder. It is constructed entirely of cut 
granite rock, at a cost of $90,000, defrayed by vol-

four corners of the Hall. 

There are four wide entrances, one on each side

and end. The same have stairways leading to the gal- 
lery. 

The building is lighted with gas, and is heated in 
cold weather by steam boilers, at a pressure of IJ lb. 
to the square inch. 

'A wide gallery extends around the entire Hall, ex- 
cept at the west end, where the large organ is situated, 
and ample room is reserved for a choir of 100 singers. 
Immediately in front of the choir are three stands or 
pulpits, arranged conveniently in steps one above an- 
other, occupied by the leading authorities of the 
Church. In front of the stands is the Sacramental 
table. 

For its artistic design and the many interesting 
historical reminiscences depicted upon it, the ceiling is 
worthy of special mention. It is divided off into six- 
teen panels, of different shape and design, by an ele- 
gant moulding and border. Each panel is occupied by 
a beautiful fresco ornament, or painting representing 
historical scenes in the early rise of the Church, and 
paintings of the different Temples built and now build- 
ing by the Latter-day Saints. Representations of the 
Savior, Moses, Elijah, and Elias are also given. The two 
largest and principal panels are over the east and west 
ends of the Hall. That over the west end contains a 
fresco delineation of the All-Seeing Eye, and the 
emblematical Hive of Deseret, with the Kirtland and 
Nauvoo Temples in the two lower corners. The panel 
over the east end contains a historical fresco painting 
of the angel "Moroni showing the Prophet Joseph 
where the plates were hid in the Hill Cumorah." The 
artistic fresco work of the ceiling was done by W. C. 
Morris, Esq.

The huildin*'- was coiiiplotod and dedicated in the 
spring of 18N0. 

The riall will accommodate nearly 8,000 people. Its 
acoustic properties are perfect; an ordinary speaker 
can be heard distinctly in any })art of the auditorum. 

In summer, regular Sunday services are held in the 
large Tabernacle at 2 p. m., and at the same hour in 
the Assembly Hall during the winter months. In both 
houses of worship special seats are reserved for tourists 
and strangers, who are always welcome. 

THE MUSEUM. 

The Museum is situated on Soutli Temple Street, 
immediateh^ focing the south entrance to the Temple 
Block. It should be visited by all who desire informa- 
tion with regard to the varied productions of Utah, 
and the number and importance of its advantages. In 
this Museum may be seen specimens of native minerals, 
ores and manufactures, native animals, birds, reptiles 
and insects ; wonderful fossils and petrifactions ; with 
many curiosities relating to the Indians of the Rocky 
Mountain region of olden and modern times. The 
visitor to the Museum cabinets can get a better idea of 
the immense and varied resources of Utah than by 
reading many books, or even visiting a few of its mines 
and manufactures. 

The mustnim is interesting also as showing what 
has been done by the " Mormon " people in the gradual 
development of manufactures and art. Besides, there 
are rare curiosities from every part of the world^dols 
from Japan, China, the Sandwich Islands, etc. A large

numerous curiosities gathered by missionaries in their 
proiclytiiig travels. 

One ot the most interesting objects to visitors is 
the boat of Kit Carson, the first whi-te man's vessel that 
plowed the waters of the Great Salt Lake. 

THE COUNCIL HOUSE. 

0x1^ of the most substantial and pretentious pub- 
lic buildings erected in the city during the early years 
of its existence was the Council House. It is situated 
at the corner of South and East Temple Streets. It 
was commenced in 1849, two years after the first settle- 
ment of vhe eity, and was ready for occupation in the 
fall of I80O. In comparison with the many larger and 
finer buildings that now overshadow it, the old Council 
House has a modest appearance, but when it was built 
it was considered quite a stately edifice. It is a sub- 
stantial red sandstone and adobe building, forty-five 
feet square and two stories high. It has been used for 
many important purposes. Here the earh^ Legislative 
Assemblies convened ; here were also held important 
Church councils. For some years it was occupied by 
the Deseret LTniversity, but now it is principally used for 
meetings of various bodies of the Latter-day Saint 
Priesthood. The larger rooms are used for general 
meetings of the High Priests, Seventies, Bishops, and 
other bodies. Here also High Councils aff-e held, where 
ofienders against the ecclesiastical law are tried for their 
fellowship or standing in the Church. There are four 
smaller rooms, one of which is occupied by the Twelve 
Apostles, one by the Seventies, a third by the Presi- 
dency of "the Salt Lake Stake of Zion," and the fourth

by the editorial staif of the Woman's Exponent, a " Mor- 
mon " woman's paper in which is chronicled the doings 
of their relief aild charitable societies, and a vigorous 
stand made in defence of their political rights. It is a 
religio-political paper of unique characteristics, defend- 
ing "Mormonism" and female suffrage with equal 
warmth. Its present editress, Mrs. Emmeline B. 
Wells, wife of Gen. Daniel H. Wells, is a New England 
lady of culture, refinement and considerable business 
tact. Among its |)rincipal contributors are Eliza R. 
Snow Smith, a wife of the- First " Mormon " Prophet, 
Louisa G. Richards, Hannah T. King, Augusta J. 
Crocheron, Emily B. Woodmansee, Ellen Mar Whitney, 
Lu Dalton, Emily B. Spencer and a number of other 
prominent " Mormon " ladies. 

[Since the publication of this work w^as com- 
menced, a disastrous fire has nearly destroyed the 
Council House, nothing but the walls being spared ; 
many of the adjacent buildings and places of business 
being entirely destroyed.] 

SOUTH TEMPLE STREET. 

Looking east from the south-east corner of the 
Temple Block may be seen some of the most interest- 
ing of Salt Lake City's "old landmarks." At the 
corner opposite are the buildings of the 

"DESERET NEWS" PUBLISHING COMPANY. 

This is the oldest paper in the Rocky Mountain 
region, and for years the only newspaper published be- 
tween San Francisco and the Missouri River. Its first 
number appeared in June, 1850. It is the organ of 



22 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY, 



the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It 
possesses one of the largest and most substantial paper 
mills in the west, situated about fourteen miles south- 
east of the city ; and has also a bindery and type 
founderv. It issues a Daily, Semi-Weekly and Weekly 
edition. 

THE TITHING STORE. 

Behind the Deserd News buildings are the ware- 
houses and yards of the General Tithing Store. It 
is the custom of the "Mormons" to pay their tithes 
and donations to the Church in kind. The farmer 
pays the products of his farm, the cattleman from the 
increase of his herds, the artizan and the laborer pays 
in "days' work." Consequently at the Tithing Store 
is gathered a most complicated assortment of products 
— ^grains, vegetables, merchandise, cattle, ad infinitum. 
These materials are paid out to the men who work on 
the Temples, the public hands, clerks, etc., goes towards 
the sup})ort of the i)Oor, are doled out to friendly In- 
dians, are sold for money or exchanged for more avail- 
able or desirable productions of the herd, farm, field or 
workshop. 

PRESIDENT YOUNG'S RESIDENCES. 

A LITTLE over half a block east of the Deseret Neivs 
office stand the residences of the founder of Salt Lake 
City — the late Brigham Young. TJie first is known as 
the " Lion House," from the fact that a statue of a lion, 
crouching, is placed over the front entrance. The "Bee 
Hive " house is the next building to the east. A carved 
bee-hive (the insignia of LTtah) crowns this edifice. Be- 
tween these two houses are the offices of the Presidencv

of the " Mormon" Church. Here the Church dignit^i- 
ries receive such visitors as are properly introduced. 
In these offices are also the head-quarters of the Deseret

Telegraph line, which has wires running to every settle- 
ment of any importance in Utah Territory. 

THE EAGLE GATE. 



East of the " Bee Hive " House is the entrance to 
City Creek Canon. The high cobble wall formerly con- 
tinued uninterruptedly east. Here was situated the 







ANT) ITS ENVIRONS. 25 



Eagle Gate. The rock supports still remain, as an old 
landmark, with the artisiically executed eagle perched 
on the summit. A short distance further east is an- 
other of T^resident Young's residences, known as the 
White House, whilst to tho north-east is the Imilding 
that he used for a school-house for his family. A little 
beyond, yet further north-east, is his grave. 

THE GARDO HOUSE. 

Opposite the Bee Hive house, south, is the Gardo 
House (frecjuently called in burlesque "The Amelia 
Palace,") the residence of the Presidentof the "Mormon" 
C'liurch. It was commenced by Brigham Young, but 
not occupied permanently by him. It is a very pleas- 
ing specimen of Utah architecture. 

West of the Gardo House is the office of the Church 
Historian. Here the historical records of the Church 
are kept, and a copy preserved of all works, that can be 
obtained, which are written for or against the faith and 
practices of this society. 

THE SOCIAL HALL. 

Half a block south of the Eagle Gate is the Social 
Hall. It was the dramatic centre before the Theatre 
was built, and is still used for balls, parties, children's 
exhibitions, assemblies, fancy fairs, etc. Like all the rest 
of the buildings erected by the late "Mormon" President, 
solidity rather than elegance characterizes its style of 
architecture. Old "Mormons," of Utah's early days, are 
never weary of telling of the good times experienced 
within its walls. 



26 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY, 



SALT LAKE THEATRE. 

This imposing and massive edifice stands on the 
north-west corner of First East and First South Streets. 
It was erected at the instance and under the persona] 
direction of the late President Brigham Young. It has 
undergone many improvements since his demise, and 
no pains are spared by its present proprietors to make it 
one of the best appointed in the West. It is a capacious 
building, 175 feet in length and 80 feet in width, and 
60 feet from floor to ceiling inside, having a stage 65 
feet deep and 32 feet at the proscenium, and it is fully 
supplied with traps, properties and scenery. It has a 
parquette, dress and three upper circles, and two private 
l30xes each side of the prosceniuuL It will seat com- 
fortably 1,500 persons. The outside i)resents an impos- 
ing appearance, granite finish on adobie walls, fluted 
columns, massive cornices in the simple Doric style of 
architecture. The interior is decorated with taste, and 
when lighted up is very fine. The scenery is the pro- 
duction of the best artists and looks so real that it com- 
mands the admiration of all spectators. In all its ap- 
pointments the theatre is first-class. The most talented 
actors in tragedy and comedy have trod its boards, and 
have been patronized with appreciation. 

THE WALKER OPERA HOUSE. 

Last year, the Messrs. Walker Bros, erected this 
beautiful building, situated on Second South Street. It 
is a pleasing building on the exterior, with a very taste- 
ful front. The interior is highly ornamented. It is 
165 feet long, 67 feet wide and 60 feet from floor to 



ANl) ITS KN VI RONS. 27 

ceiling'. 'V\\v stiiiie is 4.S foot deep l)y 59 feet broad. It 
lias pai'ijiu^tte, divss circle, two ii])per circles, and loui- 
pri\-ate boxes, two c^acb side* of tlie prosceiiiuin. 

THE CITY HALL. 

The City IJall, a red sandstone building, on First 
Soutb Street, was erected at a cost of ^70,000. It con- 
tains the offices of the Mayor, Recorder, Teasurer, As- 
sessor and Collector, Water Master, and Chiefs of the Fire 
and Water Departments, the Alderman and Justice's 
court room and the Council Chamber. ' For many years 
past the Territorial Legislative Assembly has held its 
bi-annual sessions in this building. 

Salt Lake City has had but five mayors since its 
incorporation — Hons. Jedediah M. Grant, A. 0. Smoot, 
Daniel H. Wells. F. Ijittle and AVm. Jennings, the last 
named being the present incumbent. 

In the rear of the City Hall are the municipal 
prisons, built of cut stone, massively put together with 
an inch and a half bolt between each block ; cemented 
together so that escape is very difficult. 

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. 

East of the City Hall is the old building formerly 
used for that purpose, when Salt Lake City was a very 
small burg. It is now occupied by the Fire Departnient 
and known as the Firemen's Hall. 

Beside the engine room for the apparatus, on the 
ground floor of the Firemen's Hall, a large and well- 
furnished room on the upper story affords- ample space 
as a meeting room and daucing hall, as well as library 
and reading room. The library now contains over 500 



28 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY, 

volumes, and has mainlv been accumulated throuob 
the generosity of citizens interested in- the welfare of the 
firemen. Two years ago, the firemen organized a Mu- 
tual Aid Society, a benevolent institution of which fire- 
men only are members. This wise precaution by men 
liable at any time to accident or even death has proved 
what it purports to be, a benefit and aid in cases of 
misfortune. The society has $600 in bank and has paid 
out over §150 in charity. 

Back of the engine room is a bunk room, with beds 
for the accommodation of twelve or sixteen persons. 

The department at present numbers, officers and 
members, 110 men, with the following apparatus: One 
Silsby steamer, two hand engines, four hose carts, one 
hook and ladder truck, with 2,300 feet of hose. 

The Firemen are unpaid, but do exeellent service ; 
the average loss by fire in Salt Lake City is lower than 
in any other city of its size in the West. Col. Geo. M. 
Ottinger, formerly of Philadelphia, is the chief engi- 
neer of the Fire Department. The firemen also possess 
a brass and a string band. 

STREET RAILWAY. 

*" DuKiNG the past year, the system has been extended 
two and a half miles, one line having been built to Lib- 
erty Park, and another from the Denver & Rio Grande 
depot to Main Street at the Clifi* House, and thence up 
to First South, making a double track along Main Street 
a distance of two blocks. At present, the lines are in 
the aggregate a little over nine miles in extent. The 
system has been divided up so as to have through lines 
over four routes, which formerly were separated into 



AND ITS ENVIRONS. 21 > 



I'iiiht routes. Tlie coniinuiy oiiiplov tbiirteen cars, tliirl y 
men, and eii2,hty-four animals. The animals are re- 
(juired to do duty to the extent of about sixteen miles 
l)er day, which only requires from four to five hours 
service daily. 

This season, the street car lines are being extended 
from the Emporium corner west on First South Street, 
to connect with the Utah & Nevada Railway depot, 
principally for the accommodation of bathers and vis- 
itors to the lake by that line. 

The company have an extensive Ijarn, 40x125 feet, 
built of adobes and bi'ick with iron roof. 

The company propose to add such improvements 
and increase the stock and number of cars to such an 
extent as to give the best accommodation to the public. 
Mr. O. P. Arnold is a good manager of the lines. The 
capital invested aggregates §100,000; the title of the 
corporation being The Salt Lake Railroad Company. 

THE WATER WORKS. 

The water supply for the city mains is obtained from 
City Creek, a canyon stream north of the city. The 
flow of this stream at its best (during the month of 
June), is about 1,000,000 gallons per hour, but of course 
like all mountain streams, is variable. The water is 
taken trom the creek bv a flume to three distributina- 
and filtering tanks, having a combined capacity of 103,- 
350 gallons. The elevation of these reservoirs above 
the north-east corner of the Temple Block, is 185 feet, 
and gives an average water [)ressure of 70.1 pounds to 
the inch. The water is distributed at present through 
12J miles of piping, varying in diameter from 20 to 4 



)0 GUIDE TO SALT LAKF: CITY 



inches. On this Hne of mains are located 121 hydrants 
and 71 gates or valves, which suppl}' 750 water- takers, 
with an average daily consumption of water, during the 
summer months, of nearly 3,()00,0()0 gallons, and dur- 
ing the winter about 1,400,000. A great deal of the 
water is wastefully and extravagantly used. During 
the past year, 6,717 feet of piping have been added to 
the mains, and the total expenditures for the year has 
been $19,521.12 ; the revenue, $13,047.60. Thus far 
there has been expenses of about $300,000 on the water 
works of this city, and from a mile and a half to two 
miles of extensions are added to the mains yearly. 

Z. C. M. I. 

On Main (East Temple) Street, a" little to the south 
of the Temple Block, stand the mammoth premises of 
Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution, familiarh^ 
known as the Big Co-op. This vast establishment, for 
a new country, has branch houses in Prove, Ogden, 
and Logan (in Utah) and Soda Springs (Idaho) ; whilst 
numerous local retail "Co-op." establishments are to be 
found throughout the regions occupied by the "Mor- 
mons ;" in fact, nearly every settlement, large or small, 
has its co-operative store. Co-operation was a favorite 
subject with the late Brigham Young ; and he was the 
founder of this Institution, and its first President. It 
was organized October 16th, 1868, and commenced busi- 
ness in March, 1869. To-day, it is one of the solidest 
mercantile firms in the Avorld. Its business, last year, 
amounted to between three and four millions of dollars. 
The shareholders in Z. C. M. I. are numbered by 
the hundreds, but the " Mormon " Church, as a com- 



AND ITS ENVIRONS. 



innnity. tlii'oii.i:,-!) its 'J'l'ustcc in 'I'rust, is tlic licaviot 
shareholder. ]>ri*iluuii Young's sueeessor, Prest. John 
Taylor, is also the i)resent President of the Jnstitnlion. 
whilst General Pfora(;e S. Eldridge, one of Utah's oldest 
business men, is its Superintendent. 

The motto of this Institution is a subject of much 
eomment. It is " Holiness to the Lord," and is ae- 
eei)ted bv believers as a partial fuliillment of the Bible 
Pro])hesy: "In that day shall there be upon the bells of 
the horses, Holiness to the Lord. "^ * Yea, every pot in 
Jerusalem and in Judah shall l)e holiness unto the Lord 
of Hosts." Zeeh. xiv, 20. 

The main building has a de])th of 81 T) feet and a 
frontage of 98 feet. It has four stories including cel- 
lars. Its stock of goods at last stock-taking was valued 
at about a million dollars. 

This establishment naturally draws the trade of the 
orthodox "Mormons" but by reason of its immense and 
varied stock (5f goods, it also does a large outside or 
" Gentile " business. 

Connected with Z. 0. M. I. is tlie largest Boot and 
Shoe Manufactory between Chicago and San Francisco. 
The factory is situated on First South Street, a little 
west of Ahun. This branch of the business was estab- 
lished in 1879, and now empWs 150 hands. Last year 
10,000 pairs of boots and 65,000 pairs of shoes, wortli 
$1()0,000, were turned out by this establishment. In 
price, these products compete with goods manufactured 
elsewhere, and for quality are preferred by theLTonians 
to the imported article. Mr. W. H. Rowe is the super- 
intendent and manager of this department, and ^Ir. D. 
^I. McAllister, the secretary. Another branch of man- 
ufacture has lately been associated with this factory. 



32 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY 



that of making overalls, jumpers and shirts, in which it 
successfully competes Avith San Francisco Chinese labor. 
Forty hands are employed in this department and about 
30 dozen pairs are turned out daily. The power for 
running the machinery, which in both branches is of 
the latest and most improved kinds, is supplied by a 
lo-horsepower steam engine, and a 7-horsepower Otto 
silent gas engine. 

A tannery (established in the north-western portion 
of the city,) into which many improvements have 
lately been introduced, is also connected with this de- 
partment of what is truthfully styled the. "Big Co-op." 

MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES. 

Besides the home industries sustained by Z. C. M. I., 
the city boasts of quite a number of. manufacturing en- 
terprises, chief among which are the Salt Lake Foun- 
dry and Machine Company's works, one block south of 
the Utah Central Railway depot, manufacturers of 
engines, boilers, etc. Davis; Howe & Co's Iron and 
Brass Foundry and Machine Shop, First West Street. 
The Silver Iron and Machine Works, North Temple 
Street. Haines & Sons, Boiler-makers, South Temple 
Street ; and the Machine Shops of the Utah Central 
Railway Co., Locomotive and Car Builders. All the 
above institutions are constantly running to their ut- 
most capacity, and turn out work second to none. 

The furniture manufactory of Henry Dinwoodey, 
is the oldest and largest of its kind in the Territory, 
having been established in 1857. There are besides 
several others ; the Co-operative Furniture Company, 
being one of the leading manufacturing firms in this line. 

The Great Western Match Factory, situated on 



ANT) ITS KXVIROXS. 33 



Third East Street, although but recently established, 
is one of the most nourishing industries of the city. 
The factory has facilities for making about 100 gross 
per day, and at present are making 15 to 20 gross of 
boxes per day. 

Next in importance to Z. C. M. I., in the manufac- 
ture of boots and shoes, is the f^ictory of the Messrs. 
Solomon Bros. & Gold, who employ 45 hands, and turn 
out annually 21,000 pair shoes and 0,000 pair boots, 
valued at $75,000. 

Elias Morris, Esq., ])esides being one of our leading- 
builders and contractors, is extensively employed in 
manufacturing Fire Brick, -Tiles, Cement Pi])ing and 
Plaster Paris of superior quality. 

Two soap manufactories are fully employed and 
turn out large quantities of No. 1 soap annually. 

Messrs. Taylor, Romney & Armstrong are the lead- 
ing manufacturers of doors, sash, mouldings, etc., be- 
sides doing a large building and contracting business. 

The Messrs. Watson Bros, are one of the leading 
contracting and building firms of the city, besides do- 
ing considerable business as monumental stonecutters. 

While the mercantile business of the city is per- 
haps overcrowded, there is ample room for the profit- 
able investment of much capital in manufacturing in- 
dustries of various kinds. With the establishment of a 
few more factories, machine shops and the like, the 
city will be more sure of a steady growth both in popu- 
lation and commercial importance. 

MERCANTILE BUSINESS. 

The mercantile business of the city, both whole- 
sale and retail, is rather, if anvthing, overdone. The 



34 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY 



wholesale merchants of Salt Lake, however, do nearly 
all the importing for the entire Territory south of Og- 
den. The leading wholesale firms are Z. C. M. I., 
Messrs. Wm. Jennings & Sons., Walker Bros, and F. 
Auerbach & Bro., dealers in general merchandise ; 
Spencer Clawson, in dry good and notions; Clark, 
Eldredge & Co., in groceries and crockery ware. 

RAILROADS. 

The completion of the trans-continental railroad, 
and its tributary, the Utah Central Railway (which 
was opened for traffic on January 10th, 1870), was an 
important event to the business interests of Salt Lake 
City, and was the occasion of no little rejoicing in all 
circles. It was the inauguration of a new era in the 
growth and commerce of the city. Hitherto all the 
necessaries and comforts of life which could not be pro- 
duced at home had to be freighted a thousand miles by 
ox and mule teams, and all those who migrated to this 
country in the early days of its settlement, came by the 
same conveyances, and sometimes new-comers made 
their way hither from the Missouri River in hand-cart 
trains. The journey occupied several months, and was 
a weary drag over vast and arid plains and toilsome 
mountains. 

As soon as the Utah Central Railroad was com- 
pleted into Salt Lake City, the Utah Southern road 
(now incorporated into the Utah Central system,) 
w^as commenced and pushed its way through Utah, 
Juab, Millard and Beaver counties to Frisco, connect- 
ing by rail the most thrifty agricultural districts and 
mining districts of southern Utah. Transportation 
was thus afforded for the rich and abundant harvests

of the valleys and the miiKTal wealth of the iiioun- 
tain gorges. 

Work was conniieiiced on the Salt Lake hraiich of 
the Denver c^ Uio CJrande Ivailway late in the season of 
1881, was pushed forward with the zeal eharacteris- 
tie of its management, and through eonnection was 
made between Salt Lake and Denver on the 30th day 
of March, 1883, and shortly after w^as extended to 
Ogden, and connection made Avith the Central Pacific 
Railway to California. 

HOTELS. 

The city is well provided with first-class hotel ac- 
commodations, the principal houses being the Walker, 
Continental and Metropolitan ; the Valley House, Clift 
House, and White House also offer first-class accommo- 
dations to tourists and visitors, and at reasonable rates. 

WARM SPRING BATH HOUSES. 

The Warm Sulphur Springs, situated in the extreme 
north-w^est of the ciiy, are justly celebrated for their 
medicinal properties, many invalid tourists visiting 
Salt Lake City for the special purpose of being benefitted 
by the pleasant and renovating baths to be had in its 
tepid waters. The bath houses are reached by street 
cars from the Eagle Emporium corner. 

PLEASURE RESORTS. 

Liberty Pakk, situated in the south-east suburbs, 
and reached by street car line, although but recently 
acquired by the municipality, is a most pleasant and 
healthy place to visit during the summer months. 



36 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY 



It was laid out originally by the late President Young, 
and called the "Forest Farm." There are pleasant 
drives and walks, beautifully and abundantly shaded 
by native forest trees. 

"Calder's Farm," about 3 miles south of town, is 
another suburban pleasure resort, provided with boats, 
swings, dancing floors, games, etc., incidental to such 
places. 

" Washington Square," between East Temple and 
First East Street, is the chartered ground ot the Olym- 
pic Club of this city, and on gala days is the scene of 
bicycle and foot races, base ball and cricket matches, 
and other games and amusements. 

" Fuller's Hill," in the Tenth Ward, is another 
pleasure resort of considerable attraction, and is well 
patronized by the public. 

FORT DOUGLAS. 

One of the most interesting points in the vicinity 
is Fort Douglas, a well-built, full-regiment post, located 
on a plateau about three miles east of and 500 feet above 
the city. The post and grounds are laid out with taste, 
a small stream of mountain water making the culture 
of trees, shrubbery, grass and flowers possible. The ele- 
vation gives almost a bird's-eye view of the city and 
valley. In the distance lies the Dead Sea of America, 
a Ijlue band drawn along the base of island mountains 
the vistas between which are closed by more distant 
ranges. In the north, the Promontory divides the wa- 
ters, ending far out in the lake. Across Jordan Valley 
the Oquirrh rises to a lofty bight, white with snow 
great part of the year, and often veiled by clouds. On 



AND ITS ENVIRONS. 37 



the south, low hills appearing to be thrown out in eche- 
lon, complete the enclosure of Jordan Valley, which lies 
an unrolled map at one's feet. 

ENSIGN PEAK. 

To JSeI': the city at its best, one must climb to the 
rock-crowned sunnnit of Ensign Peak. This dome-like 
mountain rises directly back of the town, and from it 
one may look down upon houses, streets, trees and green 
squares. At the right lies the lake, dull hued, motion- 
less and passive amid its grand surroundings. Huge 
islands of rock dot its surface, but no signs of life are to 
be seen. To the south stretches the beautiful valley, 
mountain guarded, fertile and bathed at its lower end 
in a thin blue veil of haze. Cloud-] )atches lie on the 
fertile slopes, the mountains are full of canons ; the Jor- 
dan is a narrow line of silver, and above the scene 
stretches the blue arch of the sky. To the east is Fort 
Douglas; and beyond that Emigration canon, from 
whose mouth the "Mormons" had their first view of the 
secluded region, which they chose for their home. 

The Plateau immediately at the foot of Ensign 
Peak, or between it and the city, is known as Arsenal 
Hill. The canon directly beneath on the east, is City 
Creek Canon, the principal source of water for the city 
of the Saints. In it are situated the reservoirs of the 
Municipal Water Works. The scenery a short distance 
up the canon, is very beautiful, wild and romantic. 

BLACK ROCK. 

Black Rock, Garfield Landing and Clinton's Ho- 
tel, some 20 miles west of the city on the shores of the 



38 



GUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY, 




AND ITS KNVII.'ONS. 39 



Great Salt Lake, are reached by the Utah and Nevada 
Railway. Duriii'i; the suniimT seascjii two (rains niu 
daily to these eelebrated bathiii;j^ points, and no tourist 
should miss the opportunity thus aflordul of taking- a 
bath in the buoyant waters of the lake. It is esiiniated 
that some fifty or sixty thousand persons bathed in the 
waters of the lake at these i)oints during the season of 
1882. 

In the long sunny days of June, July and August, 
the water becomes deliciously warm, and it is nnieh 
warmer than ocean water a month earlier and later. 

Ample accommodations are afforded the visitor to 
make a few^ days' sta}^ at these points, a rare 0])portu- 
nity to invalids, who would be benefitted mucli by a 
short sojourn, not only from the bathing, but by breath- 
ing the cool saline air of the lake. 

The water of the lake contains 22 per cent, of pure 
salt, making it so buoyant that the least possible effort 
is necessary to keep one's equilibrium, as sinking is out 
of the question. Care however must be taken that the 
water is not inhaled into the mouth and nostrils, lest the 
bather is strangled. 

CHURCHES. 

The City of Salt Lake is well provided with good 
churches, if we consider the number of citizens not con- 
nected with the " Mormon" Church. 

St. Mark's Church. — Sixteen years ago St. Mark's 
Episcopal Church was established in this city by D. S. 
Tuttle, bishop of this diocese. The cathedral is a fine 
structure, built of stone, having a handsome auditorium, 
while beneath there is a basement which is used for

Sabbath school, and also for a day school in the iniiii- 
arv department. \lv\. \\. l^itnian, late of {'((kskilb 
New ^'()l•k, is the jjrcsent })astor. 

St. Paul's Iilpiscopal — is also a stone structure and 
is well adapted to the wants of the inendjershij); the 
congregation is presided over by Rev. Armstrong, who 
lias had the j)astorate ever since the church was erected, 
some two or three years ago. 

Methodist Church. — One of the most commanding 
buildings, in size and architectural a])pearance, in the 
city is the First Methodist Church, a brick structure of 
modern style. Rev. T. C. Iliff is the present pastor, and 
also has supervision over all the Methodist chai-ges in 
Utah. 

Congregational Church — has a very faithful and de- 
voted minister in the person of Rev. F. T. Lee, who was 
formerly on the staff of the Confjregatioualisf. 

Presbyterian Church. — Rev. R. G. McXeice is the 
pastor of the Presbyterian church. The church build- 
ing is on the corner with a street on the west and 
south. In the centre is the "Octagon," now used in con- 
nection with the boarding department of the Salt Lake 
Collegiate histitute. 

Baptist — A few months ago a mission society of the 
Baptist church was established here, and services are 
held in a hall rented for that purpose and for a })ros- 
perous Sabbath-school lately organized. 

Catholic Church. — The Catholic Church has a good 
chapel, and besides this, services are held in the chapel 
at the Hospital of the Holy Cross, and also at St. ]\hiry's 
Academy. Father Scanlan has supervision of the work 
in this city, and is aided by Fathers Kii'ley and Don- 
ahue. 



42 GUIDE TO SALT LAKE (TTY, 



SCHOOLS. 

Salt Lake City is divided into twenty-one scliool 
districts, in each of which a common school is main- 
tained ten months in each year. These schools are 
partly sustained by taxes and partly l)y tuition fees. 
All the branches of a common school education are 
taught, by in most instances com[)etent and interested 
teachers. 

Besides the district schools, the city boasts of quite 
a number of private institutions of learning and 
church schools, maintained by the various religious so- 
cieties of the city. Chief among which may be men- 
tioned the schools of Hammond Hall (Congregational), 
Rowland Hall and St. Mark's academy (E]iiscopal), the 
Salt Lake Collegiate Institute (Presbyterian), and the 
Hebrew School which has just been opened for the edu- 
cation of Jewish Children. 

The Deseret University, situated on Second West 
and First North Streets, under the management of 
Prof. John R. Park and an able and efhcient corps of 
assistants, is the leading educational institution of the 
city and Territory. All the higher and many of 
the technical branches of education are there taught. 
It numbers among its students the youth of both sexes 
from all parts of the Territory, and some from Idaho 
and Arizona. One of its special features is the Nor- 
mal department, for the training of teachers for the 
common schools of the Territory. 

The publicf school system of the city and territory 
is but yet in its infancy. No aid has been received 
from public funds, or other sources, for their main- 
tenance, and until very recently teachers were paid en-

tiroly by tuition fees, and the schoollionses built by 
sul)S(.'i'ipti()ii. Scliools liave liowever been maintained 
in most of the city districts ahnost continnously since 
its first settlement. The results of Avhich are very 
gratifyinLi", very few of the children born here cannot 
read or write. 

According to the educational statistics given in 
the census for 1880, the per centage of illiteracy in 
Ctah is nnu'li below the average, and below more than 
lialf of the States and Territories of the Union, and 
the per ceata;^e about on a par with, the grjat State of 
Massachusetts, notwithstanding tlie unlimited educa- 
tional facilities of the latter. 

In respect to the amount per capita of her school 
population which Utah has invested in school property, 
she stands at the head of many older and more wealthy 
and populous States, and not far behind some of the 
foremost States of the Union, with an investment per 
capita of $8 ; while North Carolina has invested less 
than 55 cents ; Georgia, $2.03 ; Kentucky less than $4 ; 
Virginia, $2.55; Oregon, So; Wlisconsin, $13.03; Min- 
nesota, §14.55 ; Delaware, $10.35. 

When it is remembered that in nearly every State 
in the Union, vast sums of money derived from the sale 
of lands or from the establishment of special funds, are 
devoted to school purposes, and that these sums amount 
to tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars aiuuially, 
in many of the States, while the scliools of L^tah 
have never yet received any assistance whatever in this 
manner, the fiict that she occupies her present advanced 
position in respect to education, speaks volumes in her 
praise. 



44 (lUIDE TO SALT LAKE CITY. 

ARTICLES OF FAITH 

OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS. 

1. AVe believe in God the Eternal Father, and in His Son 
Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. 

2. AVe believe that men will be punished for their own 
sins, and not for Adam's transgression. 

3. AA^e believe that throuiJ:h the atonement of Christ, all 
mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordi- 
nances of the Gospel. 

4. We believe that these ordinances are : First, Faith in 
the Lord Jesus Christ ; second, Repentance ; third. Baptism 
by immersion for the remission of sins ; fourth, Laying on of 
hands for the Gift of the Holy Ghost. 

5. AVe l)elieve that a man must be called of God by 
"prophecy and by the laying on of hands," by those who are 
in authority, to preach the gospel and administer in the ordi- 
nances thereof. 

6. AV^e believe in the same organization that existed in 
the primitive church, viz : apostles, prophets, pastors, teach- 
ers, evangelists, etc. 

7. AVe believe in the gift of tongues; prophecy, revela- 
tion, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues etc. 

8. AA^'e believe the Bible to be the word of God, as far as 
it is translated correctly ; we also believe the Book of Mormon 
to be the AA'^ord of God. 

9. AA^e believe all that God has revealed, all that He does 
now reveal, and we believe that He w^ill yet reveal many 
great and important things iDertaining to the Kingdom of 
God. 

10. A\''e believe in the literal gathering of Israel, and in 
the restoration of the Ten Tribes. That Zion will be built 
upon this continent. That Christ will reign personally upon 
the earth, and that the earth will be renewed and receive its 
paradisiacal glory. 

11. AA'e claim the privilege of worshipping Almighty God 
according to the dictates of our conscience, and allow all men 
the same privilege, let them worship how, where or what 
they may. 

12. AVe believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers 
and magistrates, in obeying, honoring and sustaining the law. 

13. AVe believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, 
virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed we may say 
that we follow the admonition of Paul, "AVe believe all 
things, we hope all things," we have endured many things 
and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is any- 
thing virtuous, lovely or of good report or praiseworthy, we 
seek after these things.— Joseph Smith.
